A family approach to Holiday Parks…
Family-run since 1988, Coast & Country Parks is led by the James Family with one simple belief – that the best holidays start with nature at the heart.
Four award-winning parks. Four stunning South West locations. From riverside lodges with private hot tubs to starlit glamping on Exmoor – this is more than a holiday. It’s a proper escape.
We don’t just meet the standard in this industry – we help set it. Our founder Ian James has served as the National Chairman of HARPA, the Holiday & Residential Parks Association, and we’ve been proud members since the beginning.

Our Story
Since 1988, Coast & Country Parks has been family-owned and run. It all started when Ian and Francesca James bought Yellow Sands Holiday Park in Somerset. What began as a small, heartfelt venture has blossomed into a collection of award-winning parks, all rooted in the values of space, nature, and genuine welcome.
